JAM, the idea that ANYONE could think you're defiling motherhood cracks me up!
I do know what you mean about seeing several posts from different people within an organization. There isn't any organization I "hate" because of this, but there are one or two I've reached the (probably unfair) conclusion that I don't wish to get to know that org better. By the same token, though, it is silly to judge an organization by only ONE member. Goodness knows Alpha Xi Delta has made mistakes in the past as to who we pledged, and I'm sure the same is true of any organization.
However, folks are going to judge our groups whether we like them to or not ... I will be judged as a white girl, as an AXD, as an alum, as a graduate of my college ... JAM will be judged as a mother .... etc.
I think the more people you know in a group, the less likely you are to judge them by one person. I knew a lot of Theta Chis in college, for example, so even if I meet a jerky one it wouldn't tarnish my image of the org. On the other hand, there are some orgs that I've never met a member of, here or in real life. I know nothing negative about any of them. BUT if one appeared on this board and started picking on everyone else and talking about his/her job as a drug dealer ... I'm sure it would influence my opinion of XYZ. It's human nature.
